Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2012-1149

Tielei Wang discovered that OpenOffice.org does not allocate a large
enough memory region when processing a specially crafted JPEG object,
leading to a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially arbitrary code
execution.

version 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze5.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:3.4.5-1 of the
